yiddish and yiddishkayt and ashkenazi culture feel so cozy in my soul. i'm feeling embarrassingly mushy about it
#freddie tag#all jewish cultures are beautiful#and worth celebrating#but ashkenazi culture is certainly home to me#honestly i've stopped conceptualizing myself as purely a convert and more of a returnee#i have jews in my family even if it's not an unbroken maternal line going back centuries upon centuries#my sister (half-sister but also only sister so. sister) is half jewish and used to call me bubeleh growing up and it made me feel loved#etc etc etc always been surrounded by jewishness and felt jewish even if i had to make it official#and of course specifically the jewishness i was surrounded by was ashkenazi culture#so that's definitely home to me#why am i having feelings at 8pm on a thursday? yiddish fiddler on the roof soundtrack. obviously
